It consists of an immense central core, the \u003ci\u003eLancelot Proper\u003c\/i\u003e, introduced by \u003ci\u003eThe History of the Holy Grail\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Story of Merlin\u003c\/i\u003e and concluded by \u003ci\u003eThe Quest for the Holy Grail\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Death of Arthur\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume brings together thirteen essays by noted scholars from the first symposium ever devoted exclusively to the Lancelot-Grail Cycle. Exploring the cycle's evolution across the literatures of medieval France, Italy, Spain, Catalonia, and England, the authors take a variety of approaches that highlight a broad range of cultural, social, historical, and political concerns and offer a comparative and interdisciplinary vision of this great romance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction.
